Process of manufacturing linoleum.



IUNIE s'r- 'rns rear rim PAUL .IBLAUBACH, OF BREIVIEN, GERMANY.

N 0 Drawing. Application a process, whereby a linoleum is produced whichis more flexible than the linoleum manufactured by the processesheretofore in use, and which is not subject to creeping,

that. is to spreading or shrinking when laid out on the floor. And forthis purpose, I

add some fibrous material to the materials heretofore used in themanufacture of 11- noleum, Which materials consist of finely ground corkvor wood, coloring materials,

and a bindingmedium, or linoleum cement, such as boiled, oxidizedlinseed oil, resin and kauri, and I thoroughly mingle the said materialsand the fibrous material. I have discovered, that by thus adding afibrous material tothe materials heretofore used in the process ofmanufacturlng linoleumthe above stated properties of the product areobtained. A suitable method of performing the new process consists inthoroughly mingling the Specification of Letters Patent.

PROCESS OF 'MANUFACTURING LINOLE UM.

aforesaid substances heretofore used in the manufacture of linoleum withjute or other suitable fibrous materials, and pressing the mass obtainedupon canvas.

v A product of high-properties is obtained,

when cutting linoleum manufactured by the 'ordlnary process 1nto pieces,disintegrating the same together With the canvas so as to form agranular mass, and pressing the same, by means of calenders or hydraulicpresses, upon a new layer of canvas. By this process, the fibrousmaterial is thoroughly intermingled with and bound to the linoleum.

I claim: The herein described process of manufac- 'turing linoleum whichconsists in mingling ground cork, coloring material, boiled .lin seedoil, resin and kauri, pressing the mass so. obtained upon a fibrousmaterial, disintegrating the product so obtained so as to form agranular mass, and pressing the same upon a layer of canvas,substantially as described.
